Hibernian 2 Aberdeen 1:Pat Fenlon's first season in Scottish football will end with a Cup final at Hampden Park after boyhood Hibernian fan Leigh Griffiths sent his team into the Scottish Cup final with a late winner against Aberdeen at the ground today.

Griffiths latched onto strike partner Garry O’Connor’s classy through-ball to slip the ball home with five minutes left.

O’Connor had given Hibs an early lead but Rory Fallon levelled just before the hour mark with a stunning volley.

Aberdeen had been in the ascendancy after a toothless first-half display but Hibs regained the upper hand in the closing stages and their front pair proved too much to handle for the Dons defence.

The victory gives Hibs the chance to put aside a disappointing season in the Premier League season by lifting the trophy for the first time since 1902.

Aberdeen will be left to rue a shocking start as they remain waiting for their first cup final appearance since 2000.
